General Guidelines for Eye-drop Application
These guidelines give general advice on how to use most eye drops. However, you may be given specific instructions which may vary from the advice below. After thoroughly washing your hands, sit or stand in front of a mirror. Bend your head backwards and gently pull your lower eyelid down. Hold the dropper above one eye. Squeeze one drop into the pocket formed by gently pulling down the lower eyelid. Try not to touch your eye, eyelashes, or anything else with the dropper tip in order to keep it clean. Let go of the eyelid and do not keep the eye closed for not as long as possible (2-3 minutes at least) after application of the eye drop, with your head tilted down towards the floor. Wipe away any liquid that falls on to your cheek with a tissue.

Question of
What does the article say about the application of eye-drops?
-
There is more than one way to apply eyedrops.
-
The dropper tip should be wiped clean after each use.
-
Your eye should be closed for 2-3 minutes before applying eye drops.
Correct Wrong
Options B and C are not correct, so, eliminate them. C is incorrect because it is confusing us with "before" and "after." Eyes should be closed "after" the application - not before. Look at B, there is no mention about "wiping the dropper tip" after "each use. It only says "the dropper should be clean." Look at the first sentence - "However, you may be given specific instructions which may vary from the advice below." It means there are more than one way of applying eye drops.
